More than one person has asked me who I am voting for in November.  Each time, the person who asked and I debated the "lesser of two evils" and voting for a "known evil" arguments.  Trump or Clinton?  Who do you vote for?

I will vote for neither.  I will vote Libertarian.  

I never in my life would have thought I would utter these words, but Ted Cruz was right, I must vote my conscience.  

For a long time now, I have struggled with which party, Democrat or Republican, I more closely align.  I don't care if a person is gay or straight, Black, White, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, man or woman.  I believe in the right to bear arms.  I believe it is a woman's choice whether she chooses abortion or to have her baby.  None of these things interest me because none of them matter.  

Many things do matter to me and the two biggest are freedom and liberty, which were at the heart of our Constitution.  The Constitution of the United States of America is an amazing document.  Our forefathers had their faults, just like everyone does.  Our Constitution was created in a way so as to outline what the federal government canNOT do.  It does not outline the rights of the government, it outlines the rights of the people.  Both the Democrats and Republicans have perverted our Constitution to the point where its' almost not recognizable.  For both parties it is a matter of passing laws and regulations that benefit their tribes.  That is all it's about.  Neither party looks beyond today's money grab.  We have a national debt of over $19T!  1% interest on $19T is $190B.  That is $190B EVERY YEAR doing nothing.  What could $190B do to help our schools, our roads?  The INTEREST on our national debt will soon be the biggest budget line item.  

The Democrats and Republicans are equally guilty as to who has caused this.  Do not fool yourself.  They are ALL crooks.  They all want to control you because control is power, and that is all it's about.  How much money have we dedicated to the war on poverty over how many decades?  The return on investment is statistically nil.  We would have been better off just handing out cash.  How much money have we dedicated to the war on drugs over how many decades?  There is no return on investment and the war itself has turned into an endless money pit that spans the globe, lining the pockets of 3rd world dictators.  

I could go on, but there's really no need.  

I am voting Libertarian.
